Nature-rich National Parks for everyone
We are the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales. Our independence from government means we can speak out for Protected Landscapes when no-one else can. Our mission is clear: we’re here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action and enjoy wilder National Parks.
New Perspectives
We’ve provided funding opportunities for young people to share their stories and join our programme for Future Leaders.
Reshaping the future of National Parks
Right now, we have a once in a generation opportunity to overhaul how National Parks are run. Join our campaign to reshape National Park governance, for nature, social justice and future generations.
Beautiful and thriving landscapes
We're passionate about National Parks. They're a stunning patchwork of habitats, countryside and communities which capture the diverse beauty of the landscapes in the UK.
"National Parks exist as a place where anyone can go and enjoy the countryside; an essential right we can’t afford to lose."
Timothy, 2022/23 New Perspectives young film maker

Organisations represented
I only learnt what a National Park was last year. Since then, I’ve been to four National Parks so far and plan to get round to them all. For me, a National Park is a glimpse of the wider world and the wonders of Mother Nature. My ambition is to enable others like me to be able to experience going to National Parks.
